Hey everyone! I'm Charlie. A designer and developer, and today I'm launching Letterbox.
I've always loved typography as a visual art form, not just a way to read words. Letterbox lets you explore that idea: each letter on screen is actually composed of hundreds of tiny characters, creating these dense, textural compositions.
You can pick from a curated set of fonts, dial in your colors, adjust fill density and columns, and every unique design is encoded in the URL so you can share it instantly.
It's completely free, no account needed, and works on desktop and mobile. Would love to see what combinations you come up with!
@charlie_clark Played around with this for way too long. Cranking the fill size down makes each letter almost abstract, like a texture more than text. Bookmarked a few URL combos I want to steal for slide decks.

@whetlan glad you enjoyed it!

@curiouskitty I haven't built any export functionality, and still thinking about the best way to do this. What I'm thinking:
quickly export individual letters as images (with or without the background color)
export an entire set of letters to a .zip
embeddable interactive component

WHY ARE YOU SO GOOD AT MAKING PRETTY, FUN THINGS.
Congrats on the launch, @charlie_clark! Now.... how do I get these letters onto my projects/sites.

@gabe haha thanks Gabe ❤️ Export/embed coming soon!
Just had a play around with this for ages. Love the interactive hover on the letters and the more creative concept, feels like the opposite of every generic newsletter tool out there. The little design details matter way more than people give them credit for.

@maria_fitzpatrick micro-interactions ftw!
Looks very cool, any idea why it's blurry for me though? (using chrome, win 10):
